Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking
Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off
No current interest - has not been used since 1936 Law professors argue that it should be used in
the border fence cases Transformation to the "intelligible principle"

"Intelligible Principle"
The court has to be able to review an agency's actions to make sure they are within the congressional grant of power.
If the legislature does not provide an "intelligible principle" to guide the court in reviewing agency action, the courts will strike down the agency action Key - the law is constitutional, but it does not provide
useful power to the agency Under the delegation doctrine, the law was
unconstitutional Much more later

Delegation Doctrine - Adjudications
Old test of public versus private rights New Test
[1] “the extent to which the ‘essential attributes of judicial power’ are reserved to Article III courts, and [2] conversely, the extent to which the non-Article III forum exercises the range of jurisdiction and powers normally vested only in Article III courts, [3] the origins and importance of the right to be adjudicated, and [4] the concerns that drove Congress to depart from the requirements of Article III.

5
Practical Considerations
The court is very unwilling to find adjudications exceed constitutional authority under this test. This may be because Congress has not passed
laws which test the outer limits of agency authority
There are limits on the transformation of criminal matters to agency adjudications Traffic court can be civil, but only if there is no
jail time

INS v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983)
We are taking Chadha out of order because it provides good background for separation of powers.
This is an important case about the relationship between Congress and agencies
What is the legislative veto as used in this case? Why was it efficient from the point of view of congress? The legislative veto was very common at the time Chadha
was decided

Adjudication Issues
While we will talk about these in the next chapter, this is an adjudication case.

Are there Limits on Congressional Power over Aliens?
Congress' Art. I power "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization," combined with the Necessary and Proper Clause, grants it unreviewable authority over the regulation of aliens.
![Page 9: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Background on Deportation
What agency was the INS part of? Why did Congress give the DOJ the right to
decide whether aliens should be allowed to stay in the U.S.?
Why did they want to retain a say in deportation proceedings?
Why is Congress ambivalent about deportation? Why is this a special problem post-9/11?
![Page 10: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

What are the requirements of § 244 to stay deportation?
has been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than seven years immediately preceding the date of such application,
and proves that during all of such period he was and is a person of good moral character;
and is a person whose deportation would, in the opinion of the Attorney General, result in extreme hardship to the alien or to his spouse, parent, or child, who is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence."

11
Chadha’s Situation
Did Chadha enter the country legally? How did he become deportable? Does the agency have the discretion to stay
his deportation? What did the ALJ find? Did the agency agree?
![Page 12: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Legislative Veto
What is the role of the House of Representatives in the law challenged by Chadha ?
If they had not acted, would Chadha have been able to stay in the country?
What was the form of their ruling on Chadha?
![Page 13: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Post Legislative Veto
The ALJ (immigration judge) reopened the proceeding
Does the ALJ or the agency have the right to override the congressional act?
Can the agency refuse to follow what it believes is an unconstitutional law?
![Page 14: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
The Circuit Court
Who joined Chadha in challenging the law? Why did this produce a "case and controversy"
issue? What is the purpose of the case and controversy
provision? Can Congress modify the requirement? Are the states bound to have a case and
controversy requirement for their courts? Who did the court invite to file briefs to resolve
this problem?
![Page 15: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Standing before United States Supreme Court
Did the Circuit Court stay the deportation order?
Why did Congress say that this ended Chadha's standing?
Did the United States Supreme Court buy this?
![Page 16: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Standing of the Agency
Why did the Court say that the INS still had standing?
Does the president have to be on the opposite side of Chadha for the INS to be a party?
Who does the court say is the real adverse party in cases challenging the constitutionality of a statute?
![Page 17: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Severability
What is severability? Why did Congress argue that the provisions of
Sec 244 were not severable? Why did the court reject this argument?
406 - If any particular provision of this Act, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the remainder of the Act and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
![Page 18: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Political Question
What is the political question doctrine (Baker v Carr)?
What is the basis for the Congressional claim that this is a political question?
Why did the court reject this characterization of the problem?
![Page 19: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Exhaustion of Remedies
Does Chadha have another statutory option to stay in the US? A private bill in Congress
Why does the deportation order undermine this option?
![Page 20: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
What is the Argument that the Legislative Veto is Good Law?
"Since 1932, when the first veto provision was enacted into law, 295 congressional veto-type procedures have been inserted in 196 different statutes as follows: from 1932 to 1939, five statutes were affected; from 1940-49, nineteen statutes; between 1950-59, thirty-four statutes; and from 1960-69, forty-nine. From the year 1970 through 1975, at least one hundred sixty-three such provisions visions were included in eighty-nine laws."
![Page 21: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
What if it is a Good Law?
... the fact that a given law or procedure is efficient, convenient, and useful in facilitating functions of government, standing alone, will not save it if it is contrary to the Constitution.
Convenience and efficiency are not the primary objectives -- or the hallmarks -- of democratic government and our inquiry is sharpened rather than blunted by the fact that congressional veto provisions are appearing with increasing frequency in statutes which delegate authority to executive and independent agencies
![Page 22: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Bicameralism
What was the Great Compromise? Why was it critical to the ratification of the
constitution? How is the senate different from the house? Why is bicameralism key to making the
Great Compromise work?
![Page 23: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Checks and Balances
How does bicameralism it fit into the checks and balances of the US Constitution? Does the constitution require the states to
have bicameral legislatures? How does the legislative veto violate
bicameralism? How might presenting this to the senate
have changed the proceedings?
![Page 24: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Presentment Clause
What is the president’s role once legislation has passed the house and senate?
What if he does not sign it? pocket veto - The Constitution grants the President 10
days to review a measure passed by the Congress. If the President has not signed the bill after 10 days, it becomes law without his signature. However, if Congress adjourns during the 10-day period, the bill does not become law.
![Page 25: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Presidential Veto
Why does the constitution give the president a veto?
Who did they have in mind as president when they put the veto in?
What can Congress do when the president vetoes a bill?
![Page 26: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
When may Houses of Congress Act Unilaterally?
(a) The House of Representatives alone was given the power to initiate impeachments. Art. I, § 2, cl. 5;
(b) The Senate alone was given the power to conduct trials following impeachment on charges initiated by the House and to convict following trial. Art. I, § 3, cl. 6;
(c) The Senate alone was given final unreviewable power to approve or to disapprove Presidential appointments. Art. II, § 2, cl. 2;
(d) The Senate alone was given unreviewable power to ratify treaties negotiated by the President. Art. II, § 2, cl. 2.
What is the significance of these narrow exceptions?
![Page 27: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
The Ruling
Why did the court find this was a major constitutional issue?
What did the court rule? Has this crippled government function? Does it strengthen agency powers?
![Page 28: 1 Chapter 2. 2 Delegation Doctrine - Rulemaking Great historical interest Triggered Roosevelt's court packing plan The court backed off No current interest](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfae1a28abf838c9cd6e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Post-Chadha
Congress enacted a law requiring notice of certain agency actions and created a delay in their implementation to allow it to pass a law to override them Congressional Review Act
It is much harder to do, which leaves the agencies more latitude than before Chadha
